Ideas, guides and opinions on marketing, design and the web.
Social media management is a key part of any businesses marketing strategy. Keeping your business / company in the public eye means maintaining high standards of work at all times. We have all experienced awkward moments.
Let us introduce the team - Chris on the right, Mason in the middle & Dale on the left! Uncanny?
Tattyanna and the Spider This is Tattyanna. She lives on the shelf all alone. She was sad because nobody played with her. One day all of the other toys pushed Tattyanna off the shelf and she fell into a dark, dusty corner.
We LOVE hot and spicy food here at the lab. As we are on limited carb and low sugar diets getting a fix at Nandos is not an option. We have to meticulously plan our meal and what sauce to add to it to give it that kick.
Our job is to get you results. Our job is to increase your online presence. Our job is to generate you leads. If we do not achieve this, there is no reason for us to exist as a business. We do exist though.
With all new clients, whatever their reason for contacting us, our first action is to undertake a website audit. Making sure website optimisation is one of the fundamental starting points. Making sure images are appealing.
You may or may not already know we have a love for the weird and macabre. Anything obscure gets our attention, especially if it has zombies in it! As avid gamers too, we are super excited about the release of Dying Light.
As you probably know by now if you’ve met us, one of our other passions besides design & digital marketing is fitness and nutrition. We went on the ketogenic diet back in February 2013 and since then we’ve changed our eating habits to limit carbs and eliminate sugar completely from our diet.
As we've already blogged about how our brand came about, we'll talk a little about how we make it interesting. As it is a brand developed with a quirky passion and message, it gives us a lot of scope to make it interesting from our point of view and hopefully interesting for you guys too.
When we first started in 2009, we advertised in local papers, did some networking but there were a couple of other, more established local businesses doing what we do. We stuck at it but we don't know if potential clients saw us as 'unexperienced', 'unproven' and as a result wanted to play it safe with other, bigger companies in Hereford.
Having a website used to mean having a live advert for your business available to anyone at anytime. Anyone at anytime at a computer that is. Now it is literally anyone at anytime anywhere with the addition of mobile technology.
As it's learn your name in Morse Code day, we thought we'd learn how to do The DM Lab & Mason really wanted to see what his name is like in Morse Code. Here they are: The DM Lab - / -.. -- /.-
Today is #MicroBizMattersDay, as we only have a handful of employees (3 in fact!) we’re taking part. If you’re not familiar with #MicroBizMattersDay, have a look at their website here and get involved!
Just for fun, Mason's put on his Argyle sweater to celebrate Argyle Day! A good look?
Just recently, we have been fortunate enough to collaborate with a design company based in Cardiff - Curzon Creative - working on a brand new set of product brochures for Catnic. This involved working closely with the client and the design team at Curzon to produce 3D illustrations and product images.
Hello and welcome to 2015! Thought we'd kick off the week back with a good question - is using one of The DM Lab's services alone worthless? If you land on our homepage, you will see we have different buttons for different services: Social Media Email Marketing SEO Analytics Adwords Training Inbound Marketing.
Welcome to the second day of 2015! Here's a great motivational quote from Albert Einstein that applies to us in digital marketing, "You have to learn the rules of the game.
As this is the last blog of 2014 We've found it! Scroll down! Unfortunately, no, we haven't. If you do, please let us know! However, the secret of our success is a direct reflection of web traffic and lead generation we bring to your site.
The Apprentice is a good watch for anyone. For anyone running a business, it's insighful and inspirational. Why? Some actions taken decisions made and things said have repucussions and impacts whether they are positive or negative waits to be seen.
As we are small, we have a close relationship with our customers so our payment terms are pretty flexible. This is often our un-doing as we allow payments to be delayed which is great for our customers as they may be in a difficult situation, but then the repercussions on us is massive.
Have a great day tomorrow and a fantastic New Year. See you in 2015!
Some people are born with charisma, a killer personality and in turn become really likable. Take our Marketing Director Chris. Everyone who's ever interacted with him just ends up loving him! He's a real people person, and he is great for taking an online relationship (or telephone relationship) offline.
We have worked hard to get where we are today. We funded the startup completely by ourselves, not asking for a penny off anyone for help. We are beginning to reap the rewards of this continued hard work which has not come easy.
